my screen saver stops running

The screen saver on my Mac stops running after bout 30 minutes. As far as I know nothing has changes on my settings. It's annoying to have to sign in all the time.

If you have any bluetooth wireless devices, these could be waking up your Mac. Turn off Bluetooth, and use only wired input input devices. Make sure wake on LAN is turned off. Make sure your phone isn't paired with the bluetooth of the computer and your iPad isn't either if you have one. Make sure Sharing has no preferences turned on in Apple menu -> System Preferences.
